Nylon and acetal gears, sprockets, and star wheels drive conveyors and transmit power where metal gearing would be noisy, need lubrication, or corrode — food processing and material handling being the classic cases. We machine and mould them to drawing with keyed bores, low-noise mesh, and corrosion-free running as the working requirements.
Acetal (POM) holds tooth dimensions with low friction; nylon adds toughness and quiet mesh against steel partners. The keyed bore must fit your shaft and the tooth form must mesh with the existing drive, so both are treated as critical features and verified against the drawing or the sample being replaced.
For replacements, a sample gear or sprocket with the shaft details is a workable starting point — send it with photographs through the enquiry form. For new drives, send the drawing. Single replacements and repeat sets are quoted per requirement, with batch identification supporting future re-orders.
